Ticket #12234: charfield_index_opclass_fix_v3.diff

File charfield_index_opclass_fix_v3.diff, 3.3 KB (added by jbronn, 15 years ago)

Introspect on database type string rather than Field class; added docs to databases section.

     83Indexes for ``varchar`` and ``text`` columns
     84~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     85.. versionadded:: 1.1.2
     86
     87When specifying ``db_index=True`` on your model fields, Django typically
     88outputs a single ``CREATE INDEX`` statement.  However, if the database type
     89for the field is either ``varchar`` or ``text`` (e.g., used by ``CharField``,
     90``FileField``, and ``TextField``), then Django will create
     91an additional index that uses an appropriate `PostgreSQL operator class`_
     92for the column.  The extra index is necessary to correctly perfrom
     93lookups that use the ``LIKE`` operator in their SQL, as is done with the
     94``contains`` and ``startswith`` lookup types.
